I don't recall other books with mention of Rambo in real war situations, but the first encounter was A Long Way Gone by @IshmaelBeah and it was a wake up call. I can never look at Rambo the same way again. (look at, because I don't intend on watching the film again.)

I remember the language of the rain drumming on my roof as a boy in my village in #SierraLeone
Blessed to pass on the stories of falling rain from my #grandmother to my children here on #Goree island

Maybe it would be fair to also report on the bigger fires in Angola and the Democratic Rep of Congo. #Africamatterstoo see @BBCNews work on it based on @NASA data bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world…

Week 31: 'Radiance of Tomorrow' by @IshmaelBeah (Sierra Leone). Authors first novel since autobiography 'A Long Way Gone.' 2 friends return home for the first time after civil war. A poignant portrayal of trying to rebuild oneself after war.

Never forget that intelligence rules the world and ignorance carries the burden. Therefore, remove yourself as far as possible from ignorance and seek as far as possible to be intelligent—Marcus #Garvey #GarveyDay #HappyBirthdayMarcus

Reading this en route to the Museum of Black Civilisation in Dakar & appalled by France’s usual shamelessness. You looted art from others so it’s NOT yours. cc: @EmmanuelMacron

If proven true, this is truly outrageous. The Savior Industrial Complex in its ugliest form. I hope she’s brought to justice wherever she is.
